1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

This review presents an overview of 1→ 2 branched dendrimers and dendrons, created by a
divergent procedure, from their synthesis to modern day applications. The first members of …

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the field of liquid crystalline
dendrimers. Such a fast development is, among other things, driven by the multiple …

The purpose of this review article is to give an account of the various types of dendritic
systems that form liquid-crystalline mesophases and to describe the way they are organized …

In this article, we review some of our recent work on the development and study of the
properties of self-organizing supermolecular liquid crystalline dendritic materials. Prior to …

This chapter provides a review of the use of various dendrimer families in drug-delivery
applications. The first part gives a brief introduction to the field of dendrimer science, also …

Decoration of nanoparticles by specific functional groups provides means of controlling their
aggregation and self-assembly into ordered morphologies. We study the photocontrollable …

A new series of linear–comb and 4-arm star–comb side chain liquid crystalline polymers (Lc-
/Sc-SCLCPs) have been synthesized and characterized. The treatment of hydride siloxane …

The amine groups from the periphery of poly (propylenimine) dendrimers [DAB‐(NH2) n](n=
4 and 8) were reacted with the carboxylic groups of five different first and second generation …

A versatile strategy is highly desired to prepare well-designed side chain liquid crystal
polymers (SCLCPs). Two rigid and topological SiH/Vinyl-functionalized polystyrenes (PSs) …
